The White House press corps<\/a> is already “exhausted” at the outset of the second Trump administration.<\/p>\n

“Anybody who went through it the last time remembers how nonstop it was. It ends up kind of becoming all-consuming and taking over your life. It wears you down,” New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker told Vanity Fair Wednesday<\/a>, adding that “you have to expect that covering a big story is, by definition, taxing because it\u2019s important.”<\/p>\n

Reporters commented on how President-elect Donald Trump was already kicking off a hectic news cycle with his rapid policy and cabinet nomination announcements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Everybody\u2019s exhausted, and he hasn\u2019t even taken office yet,” Baker said.<\/p>\n

The Hill national political reporter Julia Manchester described Trump as “someone who thrives on unpredictability” with a sense of “d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu” permeating the press corps.<\/p>\n

“It was right into the fire with this transition, with the Cabinet picks. And I think overall, just outside of the press corps, the country itself was feeling burnt out,” Manchester said.<\/p>\n

Politico national political correspondent Meredith McGraw agreed “no matter where Trump goes, what he does, there\u2019s behind-the-scenes drama and intrigue.” However, she added outlets are likely going to be less “hair on fire” when reporting on every single Trump post and will instead be “thinking bigger-picture about stories.”<\/p>\n

Baker also remarked that news organizations will need to “recognize that we\u2019re not going to jump on every single stray voltage that comes out of his phone.”<\/p>\n

Some of the reporters voiced concerns over Trump\u2019s ongoing clashes with the media, believing they could be kicked out of the briefing room<\/a> entirely.<\/p>\n

“If Trump kicks us out of the White House briefing room\u2026then fine, we\u2019ll still cover from the outside,” Baker said. “We\u2019ll take on the challenge as it develops, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to shrink from that.”<\/p>\n

In contrast to 2016, though, McGraw acknowledged Trump and his team will be coming with the knowledge of “how the media works” that “they\u2019ll definitely tap into” along with “relationships with news organizations and reporters that they\u2019ve had for a long time.”<\/p>\n

“We have to recognize that he is a different, more experienced person at turning the levers of power than he was the first time around,” Baker said.<\/p>\n
